Science at UM [S02-ep19]: Immigration
This week on A l’UM la science, a wide-ranging interview with Eric Savarese, a researcher at the CEPEL political science laboratory, who presents his latest book entitled Dix questions sur l’immigration (Ten Questions on Immigration).
Unless you live in a cave, you have all been following the political news of recent weeks to some extent, with its backdrop of pensions, protests, and Article 49.3 brandished before an assembly that is more divided than ever. Let's leave the pension reform aside and ask ourselves how this parliament is going to get out of this crisis after a motion of censure was rejected by only nine votes. How will the National Assembly continue to function when Emmanuel Macron's term is barely coming to an end after a difficult first year? This is an important question, as the coming weeks and months also promise their share of divisions, starting with the new bill on immigration, integration, and asylum presented to the Council of Ministers on February 1 and which will be debated in the Assembly very soon. Yet another immigration law, you might say, and rightly so. From the Pasqua law of 1986 to the Collomb law of 2018, some 20 laws have been passed in just over 30 years. Every government since then, without exception, has enacted legislation relating to immigration, asylum or nationality, or even several of these subjects at the same time. At the dawn of a new debate that promises to be fraught with ideology, we invite you to spend the next 30 minutes unpacking the major concepts of immigration in order to better reexamine them in the current context. Our guest is Eric Savarese, a political science researcher at the Center for Political and Social Studies (CEPEL). He recently published a book entitled "Ten Questions on Immigration," released by Deboeck last January.
